KANSAS PROHIBITION.

Attorney General Bradford in his report to
the Governor of Kansas, recommends changes
in the present law for enforcing the prohltl-
ton amendment TO the Constitution which
seem TO bear out some Of the statements made
concerning tho practical transfer of much
of the saloon business TO the drug stores
Thus, the amendment he proposes "m
addition 10 the affidavit now made by
the druggist that the statements flied
by him each month represent all The liquor
sold 10y him requires him to state under oath
that the persons applying for The same were
persons known 10 him, were identified. and
that the liquors sold were DIES red for lcgit-
innate purposes. and that in addition thcic.o
the applicant sign his name and not Il
fictitious name 10 the statement" False state
ments. the Acknowledgement recommends,
should he punished as perjury. Other changes
all in the Inc Of increased security, arc pro-
posed Evidently these amendments are in
spircd by the discovery Of greater difficulty
than was expected in the enforcement Of pro
hbition. Moro inspection and sharper super
vision is called for. and alope her the main
suggestions Of the Attorney Generals report
do not seem TO bc in full accord with what he
says about the progress Of the new experiment
lie says: "1hc saloon is fast disappearing
from the State, practically is gone In the
counties Of Atchson, DOM phan, Ford. I.cavcn-
worth and Wyandottc, whcc it was thought

command Of those who are charged with the
responsibility Of enforcing it," There is a
ccl Gun ambiguity about his. If prohibition
is really "a fixed fact and no longer prob
icmati, al " in Kansas surely there ought not
10 be this gent demand for means aud ma
chinery without stint" to enforce the law.
IL means and machinery without STINT are
called for. the rational inference must bc that
a great many people kicking against tho
law, which rs by no means generally rrspcc ed

posals for more stringent PROVISIONS in the
drugstore law also tend 10 slIcng, hen the SINS
pcion that hitherto that statute has not pre-
vented the saloon business from being prac-
til ally turned over to the apothccaii,s
The general conclusion to DC drawn from
General l:radfords report is. in short, that the
Kansas Prohibition law remains in an expert
,nen al condition that hitherto the drug s ores
have taken the place Of the saloons for all
whose habits impel them to seek huuor; that
thus the most obstinate and formidable resist
ance TO any prohibition leg alton has Teen

prevent general sales Of liquors under tbs drug
store law the real force and extent Of the anti
prohibition sentiment will be first felt and

TRIBUTES TO LORD RANDOLPH.

The Tory Government continues to offer
ties imony to Lord Randolph Churchill's poit
ical authority. HIS resignation was followed
by the Prime Minister'S imporlunatc attempt to
nominate Lord Harrington as his own success
sor. Then. after many signs of Minis cra
paralysis, came convulsive effort TO secure
Mr. GOschen's services at the Treasury. Now
that the Wing leader has consented to take
Office with the Tories, provided safe seat can
DC found for him outside SEQ land. gen
eial reconstruction of the Cabinet is promised.
Lord lddeseigh is TO retire from the Foreign
Office and tiscounl Cross from the India Office,
and Lord Northbrook is to he brought in and
there are Ia Uc several exchanges Of seats.
For a rising young statesman. who has barcl v
reached the prime OF hfc Lord Randolph
Churchill seems 10 be poll ical parsonage
of unusual importance. No Cabinet resignation
in twenty years has cIealed so much cOmmO
uon in public life. 1t has involved the le-
Instruction OF Cabinet and fantastic
coalition between parties by which Wing is
placed al the head of a Tory majority.
These unprecedented tributes to Lord Ran
dolph Churchil's political ta.cnts are not
offered by his associates alone. On the Lib
cral side, where feeling of bopelessness and
depression has prevailed. there are now signs
Of renewed confidence. Hardly had the leader
Of tile Tory Democracy resigned before MIR.
Chamberlain called for a truce in faclional
warfare. Ills summons has heen promptly
answered by Sir William HaicOurt and Alr.
Morley, and negotiations are now pending for
reconciliation between MIR. Gladstone and
Mr. Chamberlain. Premature rumors Of a
political armistice are vehemenuy cOnIadicted
by the Birmingham leader but it is clear tina
Lord Randolph cnmchill's resignation was a
fatal blow at the Unionist alliance, and that
the reunion of the Liberal party is now TO be
deliberately discussed by the leaders. The
Irish members for their part arc ovcrjoyed by
the unexpected turn Of political affairs. Co
ercion has dropped out of sight; the struggle

THE GOTERNOFS MESSAGE.

Governor Hills third annual message to the
Legislature will not advance his reputation for
stateman hip. Is is chiefly noticeable for It's
eager bid for the labor vote. No intelligent
person who knows that Mr.. Hill is nothing If
not an ambitious politician can read this State
paper without feeling that it was prepared
PRIMARILY for the advanc .meutOf his personal
boom for 1888. Matters Of great moment in
which every class in the community Is inter-
ested and in which the prosperity of the State
is involved are either ignored entirely or dis
missed in a brief paragraph. The las public
service of HoratiO Seymour was rendered as
the presiding officer of the Canal Conference of
1885. The canal problem then engrossed u
large share of the public attention. 1t en-
crosses a still larger share now. Yet here Is
Governors message IN which there is not a
word concerning the burning issue OF canal I'M
provement
But the Governor treats of "labor y in cr
tense. lie woOs the "wOrkingman passionate
ly if not sensbly. tits not believed" writes
this maladroit dispenser of taffy, " that there
exists any desire on the part OF intelligent
work ngmen to Overturn the foundations OF
society or to imperll the peace and good order
of the State" There you have a sample OF
the style in which the Governor endeavors to
commend himself to Labor" The intelligent
wOrkiDgmen of this State whom he addresses
are much too intelligent not TO realize that they
have never been charged with committing the
grave offences from which Mr.. Hill, knocking
down a man of straw of his own setting up,
exonerates them. The wOrkingmen also real
ize that talk is cheap, and they will be apt to
conclude that 1.-THE George VOTE" In all that
1t implied of Democratic decentralization. h I'd
not little to do IN securing them such dis
tInguished consideration at the hands of the
Governor. There is not much else in the mes
sage that requires attention. The rest OF 1t
| consists chiefly OF q restatement in more
| compact form of the recommendations con-
tanned in the two preceding messages and
which have already been discussed by The
| TRIBUNE. The Governor makes some cOgent
remarks in regard to the makeup OF the Con-
stltutlGnal convention, prOnounces in favor of
taxing bucket-shop" contracts, suggests the
| appointment of a State Gas Commissioner. The
| big :" labor division of the document contOins
some suggestions that are wise and some that
are otherwise
1t is gratifying to learn that the finances of
the State re ain in healthy condition, that a
portion of the State debt was paid of during
| the year and that the remainder Is not large
enough to worry even tho most conservative
taxpayer.

c1TTLE TPANSPORTA TON.

Durinc the recent col weather there has
been IT uch loss of cattle in transportation from
Texas to Chicago. 1t is possible that the
su,Iden change ia the weather wpuli IN any
cose have proved too much for some OF these
animals. but rs the reports state that they were
most of them deprived of fodder and water
throughout the entire long journey. it IS not
necessary to conclude that they died OF cold
alone. The truth is that far ton little care Is
taken in shipping cattle for the markets. They
are usually if not always packed in the cars so
clo,ely that they eau scarcely move, and the
practice of leaving them without food or wafer
ia much comm0ner than it should be. The
pnblic have more than the interest IN TINS
matter which an appeal to its humanity con-
stitutes No doubt such treatment OF cattle as
is here spoken of IS cruel and barbarous. But
it is more than that. lie is stupid, extravaganza
and dishonest, and because it is all this the
practice onght to be prohibited by law.
Cattle kept in closely packed cars two or
three DAYS without fodder or water necessarily
become diseased and consequently unfit for
food Reduced IN flesh by starvation, their
blood fevcred by thirst, their nervous systems
djsordered by the crowding and joting on the
railroad these poor creatures are hurried TO
the stockyards, and often before they have had
a chance to repair the fatigue of the journey
they are CONVEX ted into beef. Such meat Is not
wholesome and should not be mat ketable. The
men who care nothing for the suifarings OF
dumb beasts, and are reckless as to the ell 'ct
of pntting unwhplcsome meat on the Market
would undoubtedly sec the wisdom OF treating
their cattle with decent humanity II they
found thai their brutal methods cut down their
profits. Such people can perhaps be touched
only through the pocket-nerve, but they can
be made to do their duty by manipulating that
properly, and the public health requires that
they should be compelled to transport their
cattle iu civilized way. At present it IL
evident that the in ,pcction at Chicago leaves n
pnnd deal To be- Desired.

that while no doubt the law has diminished
the extent of the drinking done through the
State. it is too soon for any one to speak OF
Prohibition as "a fixed fact" Of course, there
il nothing in all this but what ought to have
been anticipated. 1t does not follow that the
experiment will fail because it has so far tecn
less successful than its most sanguine advocates
expected. 1t only shows that human nature
moves slowly when the question is Of the rc-
nunciation of ng-cstablished habits, and that
if it is sought TO force radical changes upon
people not educated up to them, there will be
obstinae, energetic and very often successful
rcsis ance to them 1t is plain enough that in
regard to Kansas judgment will have to be
reserved until the drug stores as well us the
saloons have hccn really prevented from soil
